Sales & Design Consultant – Custom Furniture & Interiors

Full-Time | Calgary, Alberta

Are you a natural salesperson with a passion for interior design, furniture, and creating beautiful spaces?

Do you love working with people, bringing creative ideas to life, and turning conversations into successful sales?

At Halstead Sofa & Mattress Makers, we're looking for an energetic, motivated, and design-savvy Sales & Design Consultant to join our Calgary team.

This isn't your typical retail sales position.

You'll have the opportunity to combine your sales expertise, creativity, and design knowledge while working with homeowners, interior designers, realtors, and commercial clients.

Who We Are

Halstead Sofa & Mattress Makers is a Calgary-based, family-owned company with over 30 years of experience specializing in custom upholstery, sofas, sectionals, modular mattresses, and personalized furniture solutions.

We believe furniture should be designed around the people who use it.

From custom residential furniture to commercial projects and designer collaborations, we offer our clients something different: personalized solutions, exceptional service, and locally manufactured products.

- Maintain organized digital records, files, and customer communications.
- Prioritize multiple tasks and deadlines in a busy showroom environment.
- Identify and resolve order discrepancies or outstanding administrative details.

Design & Visualization

- Help clients visualize their spaces through furniture layouts, design concepts, and presentations.
- Assist with space planning, furniture configurations, and product customization.
- Interpret measurements, drawings, and specifications.
- Assist clients with fabric, colour, configuration, and material selections.
- Collaborate with our manufacturing team to turn design concepts into finished products.

- Strong administrative skills with experience managing customer orders, documentation, scheduling, and follow-ups.
- Exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a busy environment.
- Strong computer proficiency, including Microsoft Office, email, spreadsheets, and digital record management.
- A strong interest in interior design with an understanding of space planning, furniture layouts, and design principles.
- A confident, outgoing personality with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong relationship-building and consultative selling abilities.
- A self-motivated approach with the ability to identify customer needs, close sales, and independently manage administrative responsibilities.
- Ability to maintain accurate records,



meet deadlines, and follow projects through from initial sale to completion.
- Confidence working with both retail customers and industry professionals.
